Subject: [RFC v4][PATCH part-2 11/13] mm/dpt: Add decorated page-table remap function

Add a function to remap an already mapped buffer with a new address in
a decorated page-table: the already mapped buffer is unmapped, and a
new mapping is added for the specified new address.

This is useful to track and remap a buffer which can be freed and
then reallocated.
